Description	:	Sometimes, along the Eastern Liguria, we arrive at a particular location such as a very small and simple abandoned cemetery, with a very interesting history. We are near Favale di Malvaro and in a quiet wood between among chestnut trees you can now know the troubled history of the family of Cereghino, peasants but also musicians and storytellers of the second half of 1800.

We are near Favale di Malvaro and in a quiet wood between among chestnut trees you can now know the troubled history of the family of Cereghino, peasants but also musicians and storytellers of the second half of 1800. They converted to the Waldensian church and the problems they had with the Catholic community of Favale di Malvaro. The place is very small but significant, this family has handed down in history because it also tells of the love between Joseph Cereghino died at age 24, and Catherine Costa. Since they do not want to follow the Catholic faith, then the parish priest Don Christopher Repetti, he would not marry them and as they start to live together he called the gendarmes that imprisoned them in the tower of Chiavari for immoral conduct and religious conspiracy. Today it seems paradoxical, but the times were those. But they were released shortly after even thanks to a decree of King Carlo Alberto. This fact, however, was fatal to Joseph, who died a few months later. Known by the nickname od "Scialìn" Andrea, Stephen, Anthony and John and Joseph Cereghino in winter emigrated with their stories and music to Piedmont and Lombardy. In one of their travels arrived in Torre Pellice where they began to have a passion for what was preached by the Waldesian community mainly based upon the Bible. Back in Favale began to speak to their neighbors where they found several people who listen to them. They built a church (today it is private property, but the owner had the great sensibility of decorating the minimum necessary and keeping its original state environments) where Cereghino Stefano was appointed pastor and they had more than 110 faithful. Their songs are to be played back with the discovery of the original sheets from the musicians of "The Group" who have performed several ballads, which are also played by the group "La Rionda," which for some versions is joined by Max Manfredi, making them even more suggestive. The place is worth a visit because it is also nestled in the woods in the small part village named Castle in the beautiful valley of Malvaro in Fontanabuona with the back of the mountain Pagliaro, between the rivers Arena and Castle and near Mount Ramaceto along the Ligurian Mountains High Way. If you go there, do it with the due respect to these places and if you believe in something, whatever your beliefs, a little thought will perhaps be of comfort to the hardships that they had to go. Fortunately and finally in January of this year Favale saw the laying of a plaque as a symbol of "reconciliation".
